Results From Tommy Delaney's
"IKF Fight Night In The Heritage Hotel"
Portlaoise, Ireland




IKF Promoter Mr. Tommy Delaney put together an exciting International full contact kickboxing promotion in the Heritage Hotel in Portlaoise last Sunday which had eleven bouts and one junior exibition bout. The show was the first of its kind to ever be held in Portlaoise and although the numbers of fight fans could have been better, the fights themselves will have people talking for a long time to come. The Galway Black Dragon Kickboxers had four fighters out and they did their town & their country proud with 100% victories over four quality opponents.

Gary Giles from Claregalway took on Limerick fighter Carl Domiceo in a scheduled 3 rounder and stopped him in the 3rd round in one of the most exciting fights of the evening. The win brings Gary even closer to a possible Irish title fight in the new year. The main event was an Ireland V France International team event featuring Charlie Ward from Castle Park, Eric Daly from Gort and Cathal Manning from Rahoon taking on three all France kickboxing champions.

Ward, who is the current IKF All Ireland & 5 Nations champion was the first Irish fighter to the ring and he faced Jason Decante in a scheduled four rounder and this was a fast paced bout between two very technichal fighters but it was Charlies time to shine and shine he did as he took a well deserved unanamous decision over the French fighter.

Next up was recently crowned IKF European Super Lightweight champion Eric Daly versus seasoned French fighter Eric Tacconi and once again the pace was fast & furious and after four hard rounds it was Dalys hand that was raised as a unanamous victor.

The last fight of the night featured IKF World Light Heavyweight champion Cathal Manning and he faced up to Frances Anthony Pinto. Manning opened the round with some powerful kicks to Pintos midsection that could be heard all around the venue but Pinto fired back and it was shaping up to be a really good fight. That is until midway through the round, Manning caught the Frenchman with a savage left hook to the body. Pinto went down hard to the canvas where he stayed and was counted out by Referee Mick Burke from Dublin. Immediately after the count referee Mick Burke called for the ringside doctor. The doctor revealed that at least one of Pintos ribs was possibly broke and the Frenchman will be out of action for quite a while. Manning, who is this years Galway Bay FM sports star of the year for Kickboxing added yet another knockout win to his impressive CV and the Black Dragon gym had shown that their fighters can mix it up with the best.

A Spectator's Delight...


Bare Witness to the IKF West Coast Classic!
Over 170 Fighters Are Set To Battle In Sacramento
On The Day After Thanksgiving...


Its Gunna Be A WEEKEND LONG FIGHT PARTY!


When we say many of you have never seen anything like the forthcoming IKF West Coast Classic Muay Thai / Kickboxing Tournament that will be held November 25th, 26th and 27th in Sacramento, CA...we mean it literally for the most part.

How many of you have ever seen over 100 Full Contact/ Muay Thai/ Kickboxing fights in one weekend?
How many of you have ever seen over 40 champions crowned all in one day! One would venture to say...most have not.

Well, the IKF WCC will offer just that, a full weekend of the best Amateur Muay Thai Kickboxing action on the planet! Kids as young as eight years old...yes, eight... will be fighting for sport and the honor of wearing a championship belt that almost covers their entire torso and weighs almost as much as they do...oh well, kinda! :) Women will do battle with one intent...to walk out of that ring with one of those white and gold belts around their athletic waistlines! The mens division as always will be packed with some of the best talent from around the country! Men, both young and old, heavy and light will get their opportunity to battle for beautiful belts revealed only a few days ago by us. (Pictured Right)

"We didn't want the BELT to be the only incentive for people to register." Says IKF President Steve Fossum. "If anything, people have been shocked and blown away when they saw what their prize will be for the OPEN DIVISION Fighters. The most common response we have been hearing and reading is, 'Wow, those belts are nicer than any Pro belt I've seen!"

And for the cost of each of these treasures of leather and gold, they will make any Champion proud beyond belief,
especially when they pick them up and realize how heavy they are too.

So you see, spectators will indeed have the delight of witnessing what has never happened before in the State of California! Spectators will see first hand the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! Spectators will also get a high from witnessing other spectators enjoying the ultimate in contact sports competition! Moreover, spectators will also witness unprecedented sportsmanship and courage by all of the fighters who dare step into the ring!

Yes, emotions will run high! Thrills will be many but the memories for everyone in attendance will last a lifetime...or at least until next year around the same time! We are encouraging all fighters to invite their family and friends to witness you receiving one of those belts and the additional awards that go to the champions that weekend! This weekend will be an experience you will never forget. Fighting for the ultimate prize in front of your family, friends and fight fans, but more so, in front of your peers, those who know first hand how much work you have done to get to this point.

There is no way, anyone close to you should miss the opportunity to witness this lasting and deserving memory forever! Fighters...call, text, facebook your family and friends and let them know where you will be that weekend and let them know how much you would like them there too for moral support! Sometimes crowd support for a fighter motivates them to give their all and who knows, on this weekend with all tools ready to go...including a large support base...victory could be yours!

Everyone is reminded to get their tickets now as spectator seating will be limited.

The Loss Of
"Smokin' Joe!
1944 - 2011

At the age of 67, well known boxer Smokin' Joe Frazier left us yesterday after a long battle to liver cancer. Muhammad Ali drew the crowds, charmed the media and stole the show. But while Ali is deservedly remembered as "The Greatest," it was Joe Frazier who defined what being a fighter was truly about. Frazier will always be linked in boxing history with Ali.

Frazier was once the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, and was the first man ever to defeat Muhammad Ali in the ring. Frazier rose from the most humble beginnings in Buford, South Carolina. He moved to Philadelphia and, before Rocky Balboa ever graced the silver screen, he was the name and face most associated with Philadelphia boxing. He nearly quit boxing in 1964 when he lost to Buster Mathis in the Olympic Trials and didn't make the U.S. team. But when Mathis broke a hand, Frazier went to Tokyo in his place and won a gold medal.

After winning 19 straight fights, in 1968, Frazier was matched with Buster Mathis for the NYSAC World Heavyweight title in Madison Square Garden. Mathis, as noted above, had beaten Frazier in the US Olympic trials and would have gone to Tokyo except for injury, was also unbeaten (23-0) and won the early rounds with some smart lateral movement. But Frazier kept pressing and smothering and eventually knocked Mathis out with a tremendous right-hand left-hook combination at the 2:33 mark of the 11th round to become the NYSAC world heavyweight champion.

However, After defending his NYSAC title 5 times, Frazier wanted a shot at Ali and the WBA and WBC World Titles. However Ali wasn't available, but his World Titles were.

Ali had fought his last bout on March 22nd, 1967. A Knockout victory over Zora Folley (74-7-4) at the Madison Square Garden in New York at 1:48 of round 2 to retain his WBA World heavyweight title. However, due to legal troubles, Ali was stripped of his titles and said he would not fight for the next three years. So he officially announced his retirement on February 2nd, 1970 to allow the winner of the upcoming Joe Frazier and Jimmy Ellis unification bout to be considered the undisputed champion. Frazier defeated Ellis (27-5) on February 16th, 1970 by 5th round TKO and took home the vacant WBC heavyweight title, the WBA World heavyweight title and the NYSAC World heavyweight title.

However Ali fought again with a TKO victory over Jerry Quarry in October of 1970, and another TKO victory over Oscar Natalio Bonavena in December of 1970 while Frazier defended his WBA and WBC titles with a TKO victory over Bob Foster (41-4) on November 18th, 1970.

During the 1970's, what must be considered the "Golden Age" of boxing during our lifetimes, an era where the heavyweight division boasted at least four bona-fide superstars: Frazier, Ali, George Foreman, and Ken Norton. While Ali was the center of the boxing universe, the other three all engaged in memorable battles with the self-proclaimed "Greatest" none more so than Frazier. He did it all through sheer will and perseverance. He fought in a classic bobbing-and-weaving style, working his way to the inside by attacking the body and then unleashing his money punch, the left hook. He paid a heavy price to get inside, particularly in his bouts against Ali, but Frazier was fearless.

The time was now right for Frazier and Ali to make history... For Frazier and Ali they had two of their three bouts noted as two of the greatest fights in boxing history.
Finally, in 1971 they were both guaranteed $2.5 million to fight each other as unbeaten heavyweight in what was to be called, the "Fight of the Century", where Frazier beat Ali in Madison Square Garden. Ali had nearly all of the physical advantages, but in the fight that remains the most significant in the sport's history, it was Frazier who threw perhaps the perfect left hook (Right) to knock down Ali in the 15th round, punctuating a victory on March 8th, 1971, in what will forever be remembered as "The Fight of the Century." Judge Artie Aidala scored it 9 rounds to 6, Judge Bill Recht had it 11 rounds to 4 and Judge Arthur Mercante scored it 8 rounds to 6, all in favor of Frazier who took the victory and the WBC and WBA Heavyweight Titles. Frazier spent nine days in the hospital after becoming the first man to defeat Ali, and he was never the same fighter again.

Frazier would defend the titles 2 times with TKO victories over Terry Daniels (28-4-1) and Ron Stander (23-1-1).

In January of 1973 when talks about a rematch with Ali, the number 1 contender, broke down over money Frazier signed up to face the number 2 contender, George Foreman at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica. The result was a dent to his bank balance, he got a guaranteed $800,000, instead of fighting Ali for a guaranteed $3 million, and a much bigger hole to his reputation. Frazier, a 3-1 betting favorite, was bashed from pillar to post to boxing mat as he was put down six times before being stopped in the second round as he lost his titles to George Foreman by TKO at 2:26 in the round 2. Frazier was knocked down three times in the first and three times in the second.

After a 12 round victory in July of 1973 over Joe Bugner (43-5-1) at the Earls Court Arena in Kensington, London, United Kingdom, Frazier met Ali again a year after losing to Foreman in January of 1974 at the Madison Square Garden in New York. This time Frazier's outcome would not be the same as he lost to Ali by a 12 round decision for the NABF heavyweight title.

In 1975 Frazier made his Motown recording debut with First Round Knockout, written and produced by Van McCoy, an upbeat number in which he joyously remembered "One minute they were standing so tall/ The next second they began to fall ..." Music was Frazier's passion, and while his band The Knockouts never scored a number 1 hit, they did perform regularly on the Vegas strip.

With two more TKO wins over Jerry Quarry (49-6-4) and Jimmy Ellis (39-11-1) in October of 1975, Frazier and Ali were set to meet again at the Araneta Coliseum in Barangay Cubao, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines for the WBC and WBA Heavyweight Titles in what would be the fight known as "The Thrilla in Manila." What some may not know about this bout was that the weigh-in was 5 days in advance of bout. As to why, we were never able to find out. In the end it would be Ali who would come away with the TKO victory. It was the third and most brutal fight in the Ali-Frazier trilogy. Both men slugged each other to the brink in the late morning heat until, with Frazier's eye closing and his body shutting down, his trainer Eddie Futch called the fight off at the end of the 14th round. "No, no, Eddie, ya can't do that to me," Frazier begged, rising off his stool. "You couldn't see in the last two rounds," said Futch. "What makes ya think ya gonna see in the 15th?" "I want him, boss," said Frazier. "Sit down, son," said Futch. "It's all over. No one will ever forget what you did here today." That was true enough, but for Frazier the pain and perceived dishonor of being pulled out lingered until his death. the fight was the 1975 Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine. Watch this great bout, the entire fight by clicking HERE.

Larry Merchant, the one-time sports editor of the Philadelphia Daily News and now an HBO Sports boxing analyst, said, "There was nothing not to love about Joe Frazier and how hard he trained, how hard he fought and much he wanted to win, That 1971 fight is still the biggest and greatest event I ever covered and it exceeded all the extraordinary expectations that were placed upon it." That's what Joe Frazier was. He was a guy who exceeded expectations. He wasn't the fastest or the strongest or the most athletic, but there were few who were as fearless and few who gave as much of himself in pursuit of a victory.

His bouts with Ali were associated with a lot of negative pre-fight taunting of Frazier by Ali, calling him a "Gorilla" and an "Uncle Tom". Though Frazier was articulate and intelligent, the labeling of him as a "Gorilla" by the vocal, charismatic Ali led many to believe to the contrary. He felt betrayed because he tried to help Ali when Ali was stripped of the heavyweight title for refusing induction into military service. Ali was exiled for three years at the peak of his powers, from 1967 to 1970, and Frazier went to bat for him in order to help him get his license back. He went so far as to plead Ali's case with President Nixon. And because he felt he had done so much, he resented Ali's taunts during the promotion of their three great fights.

"Believe me when I tell you this, Ali respected Joe an awful lot," said Gene Kilroy, Ali's long-time friend and former business manager. "When they signed for that fight, they made so much money and everything was guaranteed. They didn't have to do a thing to promote it, because it wouldn't make a difference. But Ali never met a camera he didn't love and he began talking about Joe to anyone who would listen. I told Joe years later that Ali was just trying to sell the fight, but Joe said to me, 'How do you think I feel when he calls me an Uncle Tom? My kids come home from school and tell me the other kids told them their Dad's a gorilla.' Joe just couldn't get over it."

Frazier (and Foreman, who later gained fame as a Preacher and television salesman) became foils to Ali's intelligent persona. Not until after his retirement did the affable Frazier emerge. He re-emerged from boxing retirement as a lounge singer, appearing in venues and strutting his moves through a memorable Miller Lite commercial. He was an ambassador for the sport, along with Foreman, especially important at a time when Ali's Parkinson's Disease prevented him from being a voice for the sport's magical era.

Joe Frazier leaves behind a legacy befitting a heavyweight champion, memories of his defeat of Ali in 1971, of the brutal battle between the two in Manila, and of other memorable battles with George Foreman and others. At a time when boxing has been searching for men like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, a time when 49-year old Evander Holyfield has indicated that he wants to return to the ring and face the Klitshko brothers, who apparently hold the current boxing belts (a fact known to at least 10 people, perhaps), the passing of Joe Frazier reverberates even stronger. Farewell, Smokin' Joe... You were one of the greatest.

Your support to the hotel for staying there help us keep YOUR cost down for this event and other IKF Tournaments, and you WILL be checked for room confirmation at the event registrations on Friday. If living inside of 50 miles of the hotel you are not required to stay there, however, to prove this, you will need to show us your drivers license for proof or your parents drivers license with the local address on it. All those living outside that 50 mile circle will need to stay at the Radisson. Book your room as soon as possible because if you don't get your room reserved before the hotel cut-off date, (November 9th, 2011) your rate will go up, IF there are any rooms left, and if not, you will have the added registration fee.

It is MANDATORY for everyone who is registered to fight in the IKF International West Coast Classic Tournament to assure ALL your listed stats and information is correct.
If any of it is found to be incorrect you risk being dropped from the tournament.
THIS INCLUDES the correct spelling of your name, city, state you are from, trainers name, fight record, HEIGHT, age, date of birth.
So at this time we urge ALL Registered Fighters to check out their listing.
If something is missing such as your record or height, we need you to e-mail it to us ASAP!

BAD PRINTING?
It is VERY Possible we could not read your writing on your registration forms.
We happen to know we have A LOT of cities, trainer names, etc. misspelled or listed incorrect because we simply could not read your writing.
This has been especially true for the faxed registrations.

NO SECOND CHANCES!
Your opponents have listed all of their info, but are you someone who did not list your date of birth? Height? Or something else?
To be fair to Everyone, we make ALL requested info
MANDATORY!
You will NOT be given the chance to correct or tell us your correct info AT THE TOURNAMENT!
Once NOVEMBER 11th has past, we look at all info as truthful and accurate.
IF you have any missing info after NOVEMBER 11th, even your height, you will be automatically dropped from the tournament.
THIS INCLUDES ANY MMA FIGHTS!

The 2011 IKF International West Coast Classic Program Book!
PROGRAM AD & VENDOR BOOTH
DEADLINE IS
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16th, 2011


As many here know, every year now "Foster Graphics" - www.FosterGraphics.com has been creating a top quality IKF program book for the IKF Tournaments. Along with the usual sponsor ads comes something very unique... EVERY Fighters Name!


Yes EVERY FIGHTERS NAME will grace the inside pages and will, as always, include each fighters name, city, state, country, weight, height, trainers name and contact numbers which makes it a GREAT "Who's Who" for event matchmakers and promoters. It's like a Scouting book for Kickboxing and Muay Thai, just like Pro Sport scouts use. Not only is it a great souvenir for every fighter and their families, but it's also a "Matchmakers DREAM Book!"

Matchmakers and scouts from promotions around the globe attend the IKF Tournaments looking for top talent for their events. If they would allow is to, we would love to tell you who has been hidden in the crowd in the past and who plans to be there this year. However, they have always respectfully asked us to keep quiet about who they are and who they represent. What we can say is that this year there will be some big names there representing both Kickboxing/Muay Thai and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts).

The program is a full 8 & 1/2 X 11 inches in size. Ads very from a business card size ad starting at $50 up to a full page, full color for the back cover and inside back cover. All inside ads are done in black and white but the outside cover pages will be color ads. As of today, the back cover is still available, but we have had 2 sponsors that say they want it.

There will be some other additions to the program as well such as some feature articles and of course, LOADS OF PHOTOS From Past IKF Tournaments!
